fine, i'll go tarot deck
oh tarot deck, what does the future hold for quence?
hmm... bald, hungry, n poor
shame
no way! is that a lovecraft deck? now im jelly.
king in yellow was before lovecraft, which was inspired by ambrose bierce's "an inhabitant of carcosa"
i do have a lovecraft deck tho
azathoth, specifically. the artwork is beautiful n appropriately madness inducing
both decks look awesome, especially that lovecraft deck you just showed. havent been into tarot in a long time but i might have to get one, if nothing else than for the art.
yeh i only get pretty cards. a tarot deck is like, 20$ on the expensive side, n 78 pieces of unique art. lot cheaper than a photography book on the living room table, tbh
Im going to go read "I'll Say She Is" and ill be back with a glowing review in an hour or two.

BTW, congratulations on renewing your driver’s licence. Not many people know how to drive a stick, but you’re quite the pro. Look at you!
kinda wrote this fucky n there's no edit button
so, ambrose bierce wrote "an inhabitant of carcosa" in mid 1880's n then haita the shepherd (which mentions hastur as a shepherd deity) in early 1890's. chambers expanded upon it with the king in yellow book, n then lovecraft mentions hastur n the king in yellow in his own works.
...n then august derleth threw it all into a giant cauldron with a heavy dash of gay sex
listened to a murrican cryptid/folklore book n it's always a treat to run across this weirdo
i sneezed n hit enter...
anyway, leather man was basically a human cryptid. he trekked around panhandling food n not talking or telling anyone his name on the same 360 mile route hitting the same times on a schedule n ppl cherished him. after he passed some dipshit tried to treat him as a circus freak n put him on display n they took his leather n had this guy dress in it like "i'm the leather man! i eat babies!" n the townspeople were pissed.
they scratched some cash together n buried him n got him a headstone

Forgot my glowing review
It was okay, I think that the Marx Brothers don't translate well into text + I couldn't/wasn't willing to put the effort in to track down most of the songs they reference. There were a few funny parts and I'm sure it was much better performed onstage, but alas alas, I doubt much is out there, if anything at all, in the way of recordings. Such is the early 20th century.

re-listened to the last traverse abt 2 ppl who got caught up in the white mountains during winter. the audiobook has a lame narrator but one of my favorite search n rescue stories
they found one of the two hikers alive n there was absolutely no way the guy was going to survive being hiked down by the mountain rescue team on a litter he was covered in snow n barely alive, so they call in the blackhawk chopper that had previously been looking over the peaks during the daylight hours n they're like "yeah, we'll come back"
it is foggy, nighttime, snowing, in february, in -10F with wind chill in -50's, with 90 mph wind gusts, and the pilots have to use nightvision goggles
they get there up on top of the ridge, they can't park the helicopter on top of the mountain, there is chest deep snow with the tops of trees poking through... the blackhawk pilot HOVERS THE FUCKING CHOPPER ON TOP OF THE SNOW over this one clear spot so the crew can get the guy in... TWICE. in 90 mph winds. once for the guy n the second time to get the deceased man n the rest of the team down.
he parks the blackhawk chopper on the hospital helipad which it BARELY fits on because it's much larger than the med rescue choppers n the guy in the back who was just chest deep in the fucking snow 10 minutes before gets out of the back of the chopper n is like "where are the nurses n doctors? they're supposed to be here on standby?" but they don't come out because the chopper is still up n running cuz they don't want the rotors to ice over. so he goes inside, grabs a gurney, throws the mattress n blankets onto the floor because otherwise the wind from the chopper will throw them off n is like "we got the hypothermia patient out there. i'll bring him in"
tl;dr the based department is composed entirely of mountain search n rescue teams
